WHY WON'T SHEP LEAVE MAIN STREET

[proddc]

NOT EVEN MY TOWN. HE LEFT AS A VILLAGER LONG AGO. HE DOESN'T LIVE HERE. HE HAS BEEN WALKING AROUND MAIN STREET FOR LIKE A WEEK. HOW DO I MAKE HIM LEAVE?! I WAS SO HAPPY HE LEFT LIKE WHY DID HE COME BACK

You haven't completed the 16 cycle, so he is still stored on your SD card.

what?! whats a 16 villager cycle?! how do i make him leave?! or delete off my sd card.. is it a virus? has this happened to anyone else?

The 16 villager cycle is ... cycling through 16 different villagers in your town. So, at least 16 villagers must move in and out before Shep will disappear from Main Street (or in other cases, 16 diff. villagers before the same one can move into your town again).

Edit: It's not a virus xD, this happens to everyone~

No. You have to have 16 villagers move in and out, so you can get a villager back in your town. But, this mainly gets them off main street. The reason why is that when a villager moves out, it is still stored on the SD card, and you have to have new villagers replace that villager. No, it is not a virus, everyone has it happen.

When villagers leave your town, they might wander around your main street and occasionally go into stores. his happens to everyone :\

He's there to convince all the other villagers you have in your town to leave with him. There's no stopping his plan. May the odds be ever in your favor.

It's a gamebreaking virus.

The only way to counteract it is to make your town's entire populace be sheep.

Yep the 16 villager cycle. I'm afraid you will be seeing him for a long time!

voided villagers (villagers that move out of your town), can occasionally visit main street. to get him out cycle out 16 villagers, then he should be gone.
